Newspaper Page Text13 THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, -PORTLAND, MAY 21, 1922 C II SYSTEM SPEEDS UP RETURNS New Method Is Found to Aid in Getting Results. BOARDS LONG AT WORK Totals From Half of Precincts Ke ceived by Clerk 24 Hoars Curlier Than Usual. As a result of the new method of " IKandling elections, with a counting iKandling elections, with a I oiird addingup returns in every pre- -"nct just a few laps bi behlnd the loters, the fina jfiates in Mull 'known 24 houi rial totals for all candi- ultnomah county were hours earlier than under the old system. Election officials were highly pleased with results, were relieved of many hours of anxi ety over the outcome and the gen eral public found the nervous strain considerably lessened. At noon yesterday the last of the 426 precincts in Multnomah county reported to County Clerk Beveridge. At the primaries two years ago it was not until 4 o clocK of the second day after the election that all totals were in. Boards Work Long Hoars. " Hours were rather long for the counting boards, which went on duty at 10 o'clock in the morning and were not relieved until 8 o'clock the next - morning by the day board if the count was not completed by that hour. Experience indicated that not much time would be lost if the count ing boards went to work at 1 o'clock in the afternoon instead of 10 o'clock in the morning. The first precinct to be reported officially to the county clerk came In at 9:30 Friday night, one hour and a half after the closing of the polls. The Oregonlan had many reports from motorcycle couriers and by tele phone prior to this time, however, which indicated. the trend of voting throughout the city. By 10 o'clock 10 precincts had re ported; by 11 P. M., 76 had been heard from; by 11:30. 96; by midnight, 155; by 12:30. 213. and by 2:30, 295. It will be noted that exactly 60 per cent of the precincts had reported at mid night, the total number of polling places in the county beine: 426. Reports Much Speeded. , Tinder the old system, in effect two years ago, there werj scarcely a score of official reports in the county clerk's office at 8 o'clock on the morn ing following the election. The big rush then was between noon and 6 o'clock of the second day. Under the present arrangements the rush is vir tually over by morning after the elec tion. Reports from all sections of the city ; indicated that the election was con ducted more smoothly than usual and there were few complaints concern ing the new counting system. The only untoward occurrence was the explosion of an oil stove In pre cinct 11, near the North Bank depot, in the course of the counting. Burn ing oil was scattered all over the floor and records, causing considera ble damage. The board saved all that It could and sent the reports In the best condition possible. Luckily the tally sheets were uninjured, save for a scorching, and the vote record was Intact Board members reporting the explosion were David T. Votaw , . - ...wu, s. u, .UIII- urn!

The tremendous amount of work and'heavy cost to the county Involved in preparing for a big election, in cluding the provision of election and counting boards in 426 precincts, prep aration of ballots, tally sheets, etc.; furnishing of voting booths, tables , chairs, stoves, ballot boxes, etc., and instruction of boards, has led to fur- thon tollr nnnc.;n-: AU- - .... . tuiioiuci cue auvisaDimy . of Installing voting machines. .

Tomlinson, for many years chief assistant city attorney, is third, with J. N. Hart fourth and J. N. Davis last. The most sweeping success was that of George Tazwell, candidate for nomination to succeed himself in de partment No. 7. His lead mounted to 13,053. Arthur L Moulton mustered 9858 compared with 22,911 for Judge Tazwell. Boon Cason received 3309 and although L. B. Reeder withdrew from the primaries he has a vote of 473.

Mr. Williams and Mr. McArthur Thank Friends for Support and Pledge Best Efforts. The following statement was issued by Ralph E. Williams: 'I appreciate the expression of con fidence shown in' me by the repub lican voters and consider my elec tion not so much a personal victory as a triumph for clean politics. I endeavored to conduct a constructive and honorable campaign. From now until the fall election I will put forth my Dest eirorts to elect the whole re publican ticket as nominated and I look forward to a sweeping victory in November." The following statement was issued by Representative McArthur: "I am deeply jrrateful tn th re publicans of the 3d Oregon district ior nominating me for the fifth con secutive time as their candidate for tsiecuon. i snail aKe a campaign of which they will not be ashamed. I do not regard mv victory as a per sonal triumph, but rather as an ap proval of my record. My opponents ior ine nomination have assured me of their loyal support in the fall cam paign and I am certain that the dis trict will remain in the republican column. Our democratic friends will put forth every effort to secure con trol of the next congress but We must see to it thai Oregon's republican delegation is returned. I wish to take this opportunity to extend my heart- ieit tnanas to my friends ami sup porters who are responsible for my nomination." Lake Is Against Recall. LAKEVIEW. Or., May 20. (Spe cial.)

Hall 4 ASPIRANTS FAR BEHIND Klan Issue Raised by Executive Narrows Contests Democrats . Are Pleased by Results. From the moment the counting be gan in Multnomah county the battle for the republican nomination for governor settled down to a hard fought contest between Governor Ol cott and Senator Hall.. This fact corroborated the predictions made by political observers ten days ago that the contenders were Olcott and Hall and that the other four aspirants were eliminated. There was "a new alignment of fcrces when the governor issued his proclamation against the Ku Klux Klan. Whatever prospects I. L. Pat terson, George A. White or Louis E. Bean had up to that time were blghted like vegetation under a heavy.frost. There came a veritable scramble from the camps of Patter son, Bean and White and these sup porters lined up either with Hall or Olcott, according as they viewed the new issue which was raised in the campaign. J. D. Lee's candidacy had never been taken seriously from the day of his announcement. Race Becomes Closer. As the count progressed the vote of the leadiing candidates made the race one of the closest, of recent campaigns. At the start Olcott took a slight lead, losing it later to his opponent from Marshfield. and while Olcott cut down this lead time and again, he never succeeded In overcom ing it entirely and maintaining the mastery for more than a brief In terval.. If a precinct came In with a sub stantial Olcott vote, it was almost im mediately counter-balanced by an other precinct bringing reinforce ments into the Hall column. This see-saw kept up almost constantly, but having won a lead of a few hun dred votes, Hall held it against the governor as - one after another of the remainder of the 426 precincts were brought in and tabulated. No one carried Multnomah county by the pre-primary estimates. Ol cott's representatives had claimed the county by 5000 and the Hall people forecast that they would roll up 25,000 voles. Democrats Are Pleased. Democratic leaders express them selves as well pleased with the out come of the republican primaries. Democrats have been watching from the sidelines the dissensions which crept into the republican party as the campaign developed and they laid their plans early in the game to take advantage of the situation and they plan to ealvage a large segment of the disappointed republican vote. If the feeling engendered in the repub lican primaries is not abated by the time the general election is held In November, the democrats hope to elect Walter M. Pierce as governor and- possibly to land a few other democrats in office, in addition to increasing the party's representation in the legislature. With unaccustomed c o-n f 1 d e n c e democrats are anticipating success for their gubernatorial nominee and their legislative ticket in Multnomah county. They argue that the switch of a few thousand republican votes are all that is necessary. Orange Ticket Carries. A glance at the results in the re publican primaries in Multnomah county discloses that the orange ticket containing the candidates fa SUCCESSFUL DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES IN MULT NOMAH COUNTY.

This ticket was selected after weeks of conferences and deliberations and was eventually' adopted by all of the several organizations affiliated with the federation, including the Ku Klux Klan, the latter having decided to throw its weight behind the orange ticket notwithstanding there were other candidates which klansmen would have preferred. Senator Hall's vote is considered as the maximum strength of the federation not only in Multnomah county, but throughout Oregon. Experienced Men Fail. In selecting the nominees for the legislature, the electorate deiiber' ately rejected some of the most ex perienced legislators who were on the ballot, and gave preference to aspirants who were unknown. Fol lowers of the orange ticket refused to deviate an lota from the list handed to them to support and the orange ticket was not overburdened with legislative veterans. Several well-known candidates, with good legislative records, who had been in dorsed in previous campaigns by the federation, were left off the current ticket and thereby lost this solidified backing..- . . With a large number of aspirants running, which caused votes to scatter In all directions, the united croup, eupportins the. yellow; .ticket was able by concentration to win' through with its legislative ticket, or practically all of it. TWO LINN CANDIDATES TIED Thorns and Springer May Have to Draw Lots for Nomination. . ALBANY, Or., May 20. (Special.) D. C. Thorns of Scio and H. B.

ASTORIA VOTES FOR MANAGER Three Amendments to City Charter Win by Small Margins. ASTORIA. Or.. May 20. (Special.) With returns from ten precincts in ClatsoD county . missing and little chance om securing them be fore the official count next Monday a result of tho failure of the boards to eend in reportj indications point to the almost certaj;i nomina tion of the following republican leg islative and county ticket. State senator, Mrs. W. S. Kinney; representatives to legislature, James W. Mott and E. N. Hurd, port commis sioners, W. A. Tyler, G. Clifford Bar: low and R. W. Skaller; County com missioner, O I. Peterson. The three amendments to the city charter were adopted- by small majorities. They are to change from a councilmanic to a managerial form of governmnn, to authorize the issuance of bonds for re funding outstanding warrants, and to authorize rea3Sjsmen.3 to collect for street improvements which are in a controversy. A complete list of candidates for city officers was nominated but the adoption of the charter change nulli fies all those nominations. . McARTHUfl IS CONGRATULATED Mr. Korell, Runner-up, Promises Support in Fall. Maurice Crumpacker, unsuccessful aspirant for the republican nomina tion for representative in congress, is taking his defeat philosophically. He states that he wishes to express his appreciation ,for the valiant ef forts exercised by his friends in the recent contest. He says that he was careful to avoid participation in the extraneous issues which were inject ed into the campaign. Mr. Crumpacker congratulated his successful opponent, Mr. McArthur, personally. Franklin F. Korell, runner-up In the congressional race, sent the fol lowing to Mr. McArthur yesterday: "It would appear that you have been renominated by the republicans of this district for the office of con gressman, which you now hold. Ac cept my congratulations upon your victory and assurances of my hearty support in the November election." GORDON OUT FOR SPEAKER Candidacy for House Leadership Announced by Nominee.

E. Cherrick. Philip Hammond with the largest single vote in the county led the race for representative nomination. George Randall arid M. J. Lee are his running mates. I. C. Bridges and R. Scheubel lost heavily. Judge J. U. Campbell, the only can didate for a nomination as circuit judge won votes on the democratic ballot. , 1. A. A. J'rice is the only democratic candidate for the legislature who was named on the ballot. The names of Mrs. John Gaffney and Ed G. Cau field, the former for the legislature and the latter for state senator, were written in on the democratio ticket. Dut to the fact that the tabulations made out by the precinct judges are not in proper form, no actual count on the public service commission re call is available. The recall carried about two to one. BAKER VOTERS CROSS SELVES Williams Is Recalled and Then Beats Opponent. BAKER, Or., May 20. (Special.) C. L. Palmer and C. S. Blackmon were nominated in Friday's primary elec tion as candidate for the office of mayor of Baker.
